Part Time Mafia

Part Time Mafia, developed by BaconSoap, casts you as Vanessa, a veterinary science student whose return to her hometown after her parents' death sets off an unexpected descent into organized crime. The premise walks a fine line between everyday life and criminal intrigue—you're not a reluctant witness but an active participant whose choices genuinely reshape her trajectory across five distinct romantic routes.

The game's structure leans heavily on player agency. Each of Vanessa's five romantic interests opens a different faction of the story, meaning the mafia underworld itself becomes a character that shifts depending on which relationship you pursue. This isn't a one-plot-five-endings situation; BaconSoap has designed separate narrative threads that recontextualize the same setting through different eyes. Built in Ren'Py, the game currently exists as a prologue, establishing tone and mechanics before the branching paths diverge in earnest.

Regarding adult content: Part Time Mafia is tagged as eroge and hentai, but the current 0.1 release contains none yet. BaconSoap has been transparent that explicit scenes will appear naturally within each route as the game develops. This matters if you're deciding whether to start now or wait for fuller builds. The foundation here is solid otome writing—relationship building, consequence-driven choices, and atmospheric worldbuilding that treats the criminal setting as integral to character dynamics rather than window dressing.

The game runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. With only the prologue available and development ongoing, your time investment is modest, though the Patreon model suggests that completed routes will emerge gradually. If you value choice-driven narratives where your decisions alter how characters perceive both the protagonist and the world itself, Part Time Mafia's premise justifies attention despite its early state.
